UrbanDreamManagement

Urban Dream Management is a strategic design practice focused on creating more creative and sustainable cities. The team is passionate about urban change and the people who shape and experience it, helping clients make smarter use of existing resources and involve users and stakeholders in developing the built environment.

Its services include revitalising vacant or underused spaces through temporary uses and longer-term reuse strategies. The practice also provides participatory design for urban plans, municipal services, building projects and legislation, bringing diverse groups into the process to develop and test ideas before significant resources are committed. In addition, Urban Dream Management offers talks, mentoring and education on stakeholder engagement, design thinking and the reuse of abandoned spaces.

The practice’s work spans research, strategic and architectural design, public-sector projects, publications, education and urban culture. Examples include projects on vacant spaces in Malminkartano, temporary use in Kera, Helsinki Beyond Dreams and the Design Exchange Programme. Through its projects and expertise, Urban Dream Management supports more thoughtful, resource-conscious and people-centered approaches to city development.
